Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the info. I wrote the post a few days ago. I am using Google WMT, and I submitted the post to be indexed, but still nothing.

WMT is showing that it has indexed all posts but 1: https://cl.ly/image/1T0V2E2Y2J2k

I’m not sure why it won’t index it. Bing hasn’t indexed it either

worked perfectly, thanks!

awesome, thanks for that

bump, please help?!

oh ok. I was unaware of that.

thanks

A child of Purity Theme

Thank you @andrew Nevins & @buddykiller.

I have resolved the issue with your help.

For anyone else with the same problem, reference this site:

https://bavotasan.com/2008/getting-text-in-your-wordpress-search-box/

The only curious thing is that I have to upload the search.php into my main theme file… it won’t work when uploaded to my child theme folder

@andrew nevins

So what would I do to this searchform.php if I want to customize the text

div class="search">
	<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">
        <input class="search_submit" id="searchsubmit" value="" type="submit">
        <input class="search_box" name="s" id="s" type="text" value="<?php tr_translate(search); ?>" onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php tr_translate(search); ?>') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php tr_translate(search); ?>';}">
    </form>
</div>

when I inspect the search bar in Chrome it’s linking to this: <input class=?”search_box” name=?”s” id=?”s” type=?”text” value=?”Search..” onfocus=?”if (this.value == ‘Search..’)? {this.value = ”;?}?” onblur=?”if (this.value == ”)? {this.value = ‘Search..’;?}?”>?

Does this show where the info is being pulled from?

Please help!

@buddykiller

the code is pasted in my last post. Which JS file should I check?

/wp-content/themes/purity/js/contact-form.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/custom.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/jquery.easing.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/jquery.quicksand.min.js
/wp-content/themes/purity/js/portfolio-height.js

@Buddykiller

Ahhh yes you’re right. My mistake. Correction, here is the Purity Theme search form:

<div class="search">
	<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">
        <input class="search_submit" id="searchsubmit" value="" type="submit">
        <input class="search_box" name="s" id="s" type="text" value="<?php tr_translate(search); ?>" onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php tr_translate(search); ?>') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php tr_translate(search); ?>';}">
    </form>
</div>

However, I tried changing (search) to my custom text and when I uploaded the .php the search form appeared blank…

Please help!

@andrew Bartel

I changed the placeholder attribute but it didn’t work.

@andrew Nevins.

Ok, how do I check if this is JS? My site is: https://travelgrom.com

Hmmm, this is odd. According the PHP code, the place holder is “Search.” But on my website, the search from is displaying “Search..” with the two periods.

Hi Sean,

I’m a bit of a newb. Can you explain what jQuery is? I imagine it has something to do with Javascript.

I manually moved all JS from the header to the footer and it works fine for me now.
